inquiry-of any kind. Trundle the
body out of the way. Don't bother
the officials.
We might go on citing many more
cases. Cases in which people have
been suspected by their neighbors of
having had something to do with put
ting the dead out of the way, cases
where the suspicion lies to the present
day, but which might have been made
clear and the innocent indicated had
a proper inquiry been held. Injury,
deep and lasting, has been, we know,
done by the laxity of the coroner.
And so we get to the most recent
case-that of All Fat, the prisoner,
who committed suicide in an clubhouse
on Liliha street, last Tuesday fore
noon. There is no doubt that the man
committed suicide by hanging. That
was sufficient for the coroner. Man
hanged himself; dead as door nail,
dump him aside. No inquest.
We're there no questions to ask?
Was it not worth while to try and find
out why human being, if only a
Chinaman, had taken away the life
that God gives alike to the Chinaman,
the Hawaiian and all of US? A coro-
ner's jury might have questioned the
unfortunate suicides fellow prisoners
as to the treatment he had received.
They would have found out whether
the man had been in respondent
frame of mind or not: they might
have found out whether his life had
been made uncomfortable by the harsh
ness of his prison discipline, OF the
petty tyranny of his lunas. They
could have settled whether ten
minutes or half an hour had elapsed
from the time the prisoner had en-
tered the clubhouse till he was dis
covered limp corpse. If it was half
an hour, then clearly the luna was
guilty of gross dereliction of duty.
These are but few questions which
hastily suggest themselves. Six men,
honestly DESTROYS of arriving at the
truth, would put many more.
No country in the world, save aides
politically governed one, suffers cases
of sudden and violent death to be
hushed up and CLOSED over as Hawaii
does. Unless the authorities actually
know before hand that person has
been violently dealt with, and they
know who has done the deed of VIC
lence, they do not consider that any
inquiry into the circumstances of a
death should be made. A doctors
certificate merely shows what was the
actual cause of death-it does not
deal with circumstances, but the cor
oner shirks his duty and shelters him
self behind the certificate.
Every sudden death is suspicious,
every case eff suicide is suspicious
and the law should investigate every
such case. That it does not in Homo
lulu, and the Hawaiian Islands gen
orally, is seen by the actual cases cited,
and it is disgrace that it should be
so. We have for six years striyen to
keep the coroners up to their duty,
and though our efforts have been sue
cessful at times, the coroners always
slip back into their old rut. They APP
pear to have got into it pretty steadily
